I just dug the van out of a four foot snow bank in 5F temperature. I’m definitely ready to head south.

34 and overcast but sunny skies are expected this afternoon. Sun comes with some wind, gusts to 35 expected. I understand the other side of the continental divide (think Ranchroper) are going to get hammered with the winds. Winds thru Friday then maybe we may see the start of spring. Sunny and 40’s for the weekend and the first of next week is forecast to be in the 50’s.

Got our new dining room set delivered yesterday, she’s a beauty. Nothing planned for today so far.

[Mags]

33' and brightly foggy. Expected to be sunny later and maybe up to 53'.

51 at 1PM on Feb 25 under a beautiful, Carolina Blue Sky .... first up this morning was 40+ mile round trip drive to take Maureen to a cardiology related appointment .... surprisingly light traffic on the way to the appointment was more than balanced out by heavy traffic on the drive back .... no more subfreezing night temps mentioned in our long range forecast for between now and the middle of next month .... sure hope that part of the forecast proves to be right .... we've had a very dry winter and really need some rain .... they are calling for rain all day tomorrow, hopefully that will prove to be a good start

I watched the sun rise over the mountains to our East this morning. Beautiful!
We will travel to Alamogordo today to see an old Vietnam buddy who lives there.
That will take us through White Sands National Park.

33 and overcast now but there is a suggestion of some sunshine today. High should see the 40’s but it’s expected to be very windy again today. Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day until one stepped outside and felt the wind chill. Sunny and 50’s for the first of the week. The golf courses are starting to open, very early for sure. Most years we still have snow on the ground at this time.

Taking the dogs to day care today and Mrs hatchdog and I are going to a home and garden show in Spokane. She’s looking at window coverings It never ends.

And it never will my friend. If we didn't love them.................

Got that new kitchen table, so now it's time to accessorize.

[JEBar]

56 at noon on Thursday Feb 26 with a heavy overcast and light rain .... today's forecasted high reaching 59 before dropping back to an overnight low of 46 .... rain moving in and out for the rest of today .... just returned from a 50+ mile round drive to take stuff our daughter needs to take one of the children she is fostering to a medical appointment this afternoon .... nothing scheduled for the rest of today

[Mags]

35' and sunny hazy. Should be sunny all day and maybe 54. Spring must be close. We've had Canadian Geese fly over and there are a few cherry/plum blossom trees in bloom. And the grass is begging to be mowed.

Ain’t that the truth. We have a free standing gas range with a microwave above it. She want’s to replace the microwave with a hood and move the microwave to another location. This will require a lot of electrical work plus cabinet work. A whole lot of work and expense for little gain. Grrrrrrrr

Little gain for some, but for others lifting dishes in and out of a raised microwave oven can be anywhere from a pain (arthritis) to a serious burn risk (poor dexterity possibly resulting in dropping a hot dish right onto your body). That said, when we did that same conversion, the microwave we removed (because it died) had the over the stove fan built in to the bottom that pushed the air around the microwave and up in to the ductwork to the roof. We just had to buy a new range hood; the electrical and venting was already there.

Now now Hatch. Happy wife, happy life.

The trip to Alamogordo is about an hour and a half up through a pass in the mountains
that is quite high. It was a pretty trip during the day passing through White Sands National
Park, but coming back after dark was a bit harrowing as there are some pretty good grades
and curves, but we had a nice visit and dinner with my old friend from Vietnam days.

How’s the new TOAD set up working?


37 this morning, I like the direction the overnight temps are going. High in the mid 40’s expected but overcast and windy one more day. The weekend forecast is for sunshine and 50’s. That’s going to be nice for sure.

A couple of routine vehicle service appointments today, in between I’m meeting my brother at our sister’s place. She replaced some appliances and plumbing and needs the old stuff hauled to the transfer station and has no ability to do so.
